I suspect that these numbers are averages of only people who take jobs straight out of their undergraduate education. Some of these undergraduate majors are considered "preparation for grad school" majors more than actual preparation for immediately starting a career, I think. Though I'll note that Math does well at both.

I'll bet the average starting salary for philosophy majors reflects the fact that they tend to gravitate to low-paying jobs by choice, e.g. nonprofits. I doubt many accounting majors work for nonprofits.

Also, at the software company where I work, college hires from good CS programs routinely start at $70-80K. I also would not be surprised if there were more EE majors working as programmers than as engineers.

I'm taking stats this semester (I'm a finance major, YAY 38,000 for me), and what I would like to know is the margin of error. What do they really make? Do Engineers make $49,707 ± $10,000 or $5,000? They really never display those numbers so in my opinion it's kind of irrelevant information. What do you guys think?

Interesting how we always seem to focus on staring salaries out of college.I would be interested to see those same salaries 10, 15, 20 years out, for me I wish I had taken Business/Economics not engineering.

In 1994, I started my first job as a Mechanical Engieer making $36,000. I picked that job becuase it paid $1500 more than going to work at Anderson Consulting. Graduates need to understand it is not starting salary that is important, but where can you grow professionally and learn new skills and experience. That is where the big payoffs come into being.

I'm currently an undergrad student working towards my marketing degree. Just curious if there are business people out there that can tell me..is grad school a necessity? Or will I be able to find a job easily just with my bachelors?
